The unit includes six online quizzes that assess students' understanding of concepts from the two weeks prior to each quiz. Each quiz consists of multiple-choice and short-calculation questions, with no time limit and multiple attempts allowed. The system selects different questions from the question bank for each attempt, and the final quiz mark is the average of all attempts, giving students the opportunity to improve their score with subsequent attempts.

Quizzes remain open for two weeks, and all attempts must be completed within this period. It is strongly recommended that students review relevant materials before attempting each quiz. The six quizzes collectively contribute 40% to the final unit mark, with a minimum overall score of 50% required across all quizzes to pass the unit.

The quiz due dates are as follows: Quiz 1 is due in Week 3, Quiz 2 in Week 5, Quiz 3 in Week 7, Quiz 4 in Week 9, Quiz 5 in Week 11, and Quiz 6 in Week 13 (review/exam week).

Correct numerical answer or selection of the best answer among the available multiple-choice options.

This assessment covers lab experiments in the analog electronics domain, including topics such as diodes, rectifiers, bipolar transistors, and operational amplifiers. Marks are distributed according to the lab document, which is available on the unit Moodle website. The laboratory is a compulsory learning and assessment activity, and students must submit a lab report with results by the due date.

The compulsory laboratory session, also known as the residential school, will be held at several campus locations mid-term. Students must choose a campus and register on the unit Moodle website by the end of Week 3. The available venues and times can be found on the Moodle site and timetable at the start of the term.

Students with prior electronics experience and confidence to complete the lab without supervision may opt to do the lab at home. This option requires prior approval from the unit coordinator, and students must contact the coordinator before the end of Week 3 to discuss their experience and seek approval.

1. Connect electronic components correctly using pin diagrams, power requirements, and connection procedures.
2. Test electronic devices with appropriate laboratory test equipment.
3. Troubleshoot electronic circuits using suitable procedures and laboratory test equipment.
4. Use simulation software to analyse electronic circuits.
5. Obtain accurate simulation and measurement results.
6. Report results clearly, neatly, and professionally, including all necessary technical information and diagrams.

This assessment involves designing a circuit to address a real-world problem using concepts from both analog and digital electronics. It is a simulation-based design, submitted individually as a single design report. The report must include system requirement analysis, design of individual sub-circuits, and integration of these sub-circuits into a fully functional system that meets the design specifications. Detailed assessment instructions are available in the design task description document on the unit Moodle website.

1. Develop a circuit solution that meet real-world operational requirements.
2. Use a modular design approach by breaking the circuit into functional blocks.
3. Design each functional block using concepts learned in the unit.
4. Select the most suitable electronic components for implementing each functional block.
5. Justify component selection through relevant analysis.
6. Explore circuit options using calculations and simulations.
7. Integrate functional blocks to design the final circuit.
8. Simulate the final circuit to verify functionality against the design specifications.
9. Present results clearly, correctly, and to the industry standards, including all necessary technical details, diagrams, symbols, and circuit representations.
